The Summit Bar

If you’re looking for the most iconic spot in Hanoi to enjoy an aperitivo, Summit Bar at the Pan Pacific Hotel is the place to be. With stunning rooftop views and a classy atmosphere, it’s the ultimate location for a real Aperol Spritz including a unique twist made with lychee, which was absolutely delicious. The food was fresh and incredibly tasty, perfectly matching the quality of the drinks. The staff were professional and genuinely helpful in guiding us through the menu, both for cocktails and food. But the real highlight? The terrace it offers a breathtaking view over the huge West Lake, and if you go at sunset, you’ll enjoy a magical moment with good food, great drinks, and an unforgettable ambiance. It’s also one of the most Instagrammable spots in town! Highly recommended – 100%! 🍹🌅✨

Summit Bar on the 20th floor of Pan Pacific offers an amazing view of Hanoi, especially toward Thanh nien Street. The space is cozy and perfect for dates. Staff are very professional and helpful, even assisting with changing to an outdoor table. The menu focuses on cocktails with limited non-alcoholic options, and the drinks are average. Most people come here for the stunning view rather than the drinks.

WARNING!! Food poisoning!! I had to update my review. My friend had food poisoning after eating here. He ate the soft shell crab and I didn’t, immediately after eating, he said it didn’t smell right. That night, he started experiencing food poisoning symptoms and having fever. I got him antibiotics and a bunch of other medicine the next morning to help him deal w the symptoms. He had a flight from Hanoi to Boston the night after eating at this place and thankfully the medicines worked. Worst experience ever. Avoid this place especially the food. I used to come here pretty frequently whenever I am in Hanoi but will never go here ever again!! Original review below: Great drinks and amazing view. However, the food was terrible to say the least. We ordered 3 dishes which came after 45 mins of waiting (we were told the food was going to come after 20 mins). Every single item we were served were cold, dry, hard, overcooked, and they tasted like they had been sitting there for a few hours. I would not recommend ordering food here, for such price, the food should at least be edible. We had to tell the staff to reheat the soft shell crabs (which was soggy and cold), and the yakitori (meat skewers which was super dry and hard) and even after heating, it did not improve. Please do not serve food to customers if you can’t make it right.

Great sunset. Great staff. Great time. We arrived a few minutes passed 5pm. Just in time to catch the sunset.

Fantastic view and service. Best place for sunset and an enjoyable end of the day. Nice cocktails and good food. Highly appreciate that place.

We are hunting the sunset, unfortunately last minute the dark clouds coming. we really enjoy the food, very delicious. enjoying the time while eating with super scenery. it really worth it. this place most amazing. Many people enjoying the same experience

Great place however disappointing during New Years. No fireworks, a little too loud during NY, and also a little too pricey for what it is. If you want New Years with fireworks and view, go closer to the Old Town area. The fireworks was extremely far 😂
